Orange

Recently, I've noticed that many of Santa Barbara's natural gifts are orange, from the monarch butterflies that spawn here in winter, to the orange trees that bear fruit in almost every yard.

And then, there are the California poppies that paint the rural hills and fields with color. When early explorers sailed toward this coast, they saw the bright orange, poppy-laden hills in the distance, and thought they were in flames. For this, they named the area, "Hills of Fire."

About Me

Yes, this is me, the REAL me. You have reached the woman who was a model in the 60's, an actress in the 70's and wound up behind Door Number Three on The Price is Right. I now walk the beach and hike in the hills of Southern California -- and think of you, the one who might check into this blog and read a thing or two.
Wishing you all creative joy and happy surprises, ~ Anitra.
